BIZARRE

By Lindsey Glasgow OXFORD, ENGLAND —“Did you notice anything unusual around the River Cherwell or the River Thames near Oxford on Saturday night? Has your boat been stolen from this area recently or have you found one abandoned?”

Thames Valley Police posed these questions on Twitter on March 16.

The police department in Oxford, England is investigating the burglary of three high value paintings from Christ Church Picture Gallery at Oxford University and they believe the culprits may have used a boat to access and flee the scene.

The works, ‘A Rocky Coast, with Soldiers Studying a Plan’ by Salvator Rosa, ‘A Soldier on Horseback’ by Antony Van Dyck and ‘A Boy Drinking’ by Annibale Carracci are all more than 350 years old and have a combined estimated value of around $12 million, according to The Times, a British daily national newspaper based in London.

The burglary took place around 11

p.m. on March 14. Police said the paintings have not yet been recovered. Investigators are also still trying to determine how the thieves entered the museum and how the works were taken.

Police said in a released statement a line of inquiry officers are pursuing is the offenders could have used a boat as a vehicle to access and leave the site.

“This is just a hypothesis at this time, but we would like to hear from anyone who has had their boat stolen recently or has noticed any unusual activity around where their boats are docked,” said Investigating Officer Detective Inspector James Mather in a released statement. “We are initially asking people with boats based on the River Cherwell or the River Thames near Oxford to get in touch if you have noticed any unusual activity.”

Christ Church Picture Gallery is an art museum at Christ Church, one of the colleges of Oxford University in England.

The gallery holds a collection of about 300 Old Master paintings and nearly 2,000 drawings. The college said in a released statement the Picture Gallery will remain closed until further notice.

LOU GERLINGER, former owner of The Log, has died Gerlinger continued to write for The Log, up through this issue; he was 98.

By Parimal M. Rohit FOUNTAIN VALLEY — Lou Gerlinger,

who owned The Log while it was based in San Diego in the 1970s and 1980s, has died. A family member confirmed he died on April 9. He was 98. We at The Log will run a tribute to Gerlinger in our May 1-14 issue.

This writer and Gerlinger had been in contact a few times between April 6 and April 8. Gerlinger, in an email to this writer on April 6, said he was in good health.

“Hope you all are doing OK during these terrible times.

Rosemarie (my close friend of many years) and me are doing well so far. Plenty of necessary supplies and no symptoms of the virus,” Gerlinger wrote to this writer on April 6.

Gerlinger oversaw The Log when it was a rag based out of the Red Sails Inn at San Diego’s Shelter Island. He bought The Log from William Roberts in 1975 and managed the publication until 1990, when Independent News Corporation acquired the publication. The newspaper expanded from its San Diego roots in 1978 and 1979, as The Log started covering recreational boating in Orange County and Los Angeles under Gerlinger’s leadership.

Gerlinger, in 1983, explained The Log’s mission and vision.

“The Log provides the reader factual news of the boating community and gives advertisers an opportunity to reach the majority of boaters in the Southern California community,”Gerlinger said in July 1983. “Our goal is to keep people of the waterfront community, whether they are yachtsmen, fishermen or merchants, informed of the events pertinent to them.”

The Log became a twice-a-month publication under Gerlinger’s leadership.

Gerlinger continued to write for The Log after selling the publication to Independent News Corporation. Two stories in this See OBIT page 16

NOAA to test electronic monitoring in herring fishery PORTLAND, MAINE (AP) —

Federal fishing regulators are evaluating how to use electronic monitoring to help manage one of the largest fisheries on the East Coast.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is looking to administer electronic monitoring in the Atlantic herring fishery. The fishery is based in New England and is an important source of bait fish, as well food for human consumption.

NOAA is looking for herring fishing boats to operate electronic monitoring systems instead of using at-sea monitors, which are human workers.

The data collected by monitors is important to the management of herring, which have suffered from declining population off the East Coast in recent years.

NOAA said it›s looking for herring trawlers to get in touch about participating in the program this month.

Recon south of the border

Mochi the foot warmer

Ahoy from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! The renowned tower on La Playa de Los Muertos can be seen in the background of this photo of Paula Vance and Allan Bombard, both past commanders of the San Diego Sail & Power Squadron and members of the Southwestern Yacht Club. Bombard wrote they were doing some important recon south of the border.

David Birken submitted this photo of Mochi, a 7-yearold Havanese. He said the breed historically sailed the Caribbean Sea and kept the sailors’ feet warm. “Every night he heads to the foot of our bed to keep my first mates’ and my feet warm at night whether we are on our sailboat or at home,” Birken said in an email.

TALLINN, SOVIET UNION — Here’s a dateline you won’t see anymore, as the Soviet Union no longer exists, and Tallinn is now more than a coastal outpost of the USSR – it is the capital city of Estonia.

But Tallinn was the epicenter of Olympic Sailing events during the 1980 Olympics (which was mostly played in Moscow).

The 1980 Games in the Soviet Union was mostly notable for the absence of the United States – we had boycotted the Summer Olympics, and the Soviets would return the favor when the Olympiad came to Los Angeles in 1984.

Also notable at the 1980 Games: medals won

by Spain and Ireland in Sailing. Both countries finished first (Spain) and second (Ireland) in the Flying Dutchman class. It was the first time Spain finished with a gold medal in Olympic Sailing.

Ireland, meanwhile, won its first-ever Olympic Sailing medal.

The Spaniards have won 19 total medals in Olympic Sailing, the first one a bronze finish at

the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Santiago Amat finished third in the Snowbird class, giving Spain its first podium finish in a Sailing event. Spain would earn silver medals in Sailing (470 class) and Canoeing (Men’s K-4 1000 meter) at the 1976 Games in Montreal, but 1980 would be a breakthrough year for the Spaniards. Teammates Alejandro Abascal and Miguel Noguer would win the Flying Dutchman class in Tallinn, bringing the gold medal home to Iberia.

Spain would also win gold medals in Sailing at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, 1988 Seoul Games, 1992 Barcelona Games, 1996 Atlanta Games, 2004 Sydney Games, 2008 Beijing Games and 2012 London Games.

Teammates David Wilkins and James Wilkinson, meanwhile, both won silver at the 1980 Games – and, to date, they are the only Irish men to have ever medaled in Olympic Sailing. Annalise Murphy won silver for the Irish at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro; she earned her medal in the Women’s Laser Radial.

The next Olympic Sailing events will take place next year, as the 2020 Tokyo Games were postponed to 2021, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

NOTE TO SHERIFF: IT’S DOCKING TIME IN NEWPORT BEACH The city’s Harbor Commission recommends new timing patterns for docking at 19th Street Dock. A similar procedure should have been followed on the other side of the harbor.

By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT BEACH—It’s been a while since we’ve

run a Standing Watch column. The last two columns in this section focused on the return of Sea Magazine and getting through the COVID19 quarantine period with a positive mindset. A take action column has become relevant at this time – not so much to “beat a dead horse” but to ensure our local, regional and state agencies are aware we’re watching their actions, ensuring

public officials are following the right protocols.

Recent action by the Newport Beach Harbor Commission have metaphorically re-opened old wounds – and the advisory board certainly didn’t have intentions of its recommendation resulting in this take action column being written (especially in a time when we’re all just trying to get through the worst global pandemic of our lifetimes).

Researcher believes he has identified shipwreck in Maine PORTLAND, MAINE (AP) —A researcher

believes he’s identified the mysterious shipwreck that appears every few years in the right conditions on a beach in York.

The ship’s remains, which were last exposed by a nor’easter in 2018, are likely those of the Defiance, a sloop that washed ashore during a violent storm in 1769, said researcher Stefan Claesson, owner of Nearview, an aerial drone and archaeological surveying company.

Defiance was built in 1754 in Massachusetts, which fits with historical documents and tree-ring dating conducted by Cornell University, he said.

But, he said, “additional historical research and archaeological investigations are needed to confirm the identification.”

All that’s left of the ship are the keel, and some ribs and planks that hauntingly reappear on the beach every few years due to the natural movements of the ocean floor at Short Sands Beach.

Claesson undertook the first scholarly look at the shipwreck with funding help from the Maine Historical Commission, using a combination of archaeological work, scientific dating and review of historical records.

The 60-foot Defiance set sail from Salem, Massachusetts, with a four-man crew and a load of flour, pork and English goods in 1769, but it never made it to its destination of Portland, Maine, Claesson said.

The ship encountered a violent storm and set anchor off York, he said. The storm was so powerful that the crew had to cut the tether, and the ship wrecked on the beach. The four crew members survived but the sloop was a total loss, Claesson said.

Over the years, some locals have speculated that the wreck was another vessel, the Industry, but that ship sank at a different location, he said.

The Maine Historic Preservation Commission considers the site a significant historical find, a designation that means the shipwreck would qualify for the National Registry of Historic Places.

Fugro wins NOAA contract for shoreline mapping services FREDERICK, MARYLAND—Fugro, a

Netherlands-based company specializing in geo-data, has signed a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrat ion (NOAA) to provide shoreline mapping services in support of the agency’s Coastal Mapping Program.

Fugro will provide NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) with aerial imagery, topobathymetric lidar, and shoreline feature compilations.

NGS uses the data to update NOAA nautical charts, define US territorial limits, support coastal management activities and perform inundation modeling.

The contract, issued through NGS,

is the second consecutive award to Fugro for such services.

“Fugro is proud to continue working with NOAA to update and improve the nation’s shoreline mapping needs,” said Edward Saade, President of Fugro in the US, in a released statement. “This work closely aligns with our NOAA hydrographic surveying services contract, which was awarded to Fugro last December. In both cases we are focused on using innovative technologies to streamline the delivery of high quality Geo-data while improving operational safety and significantly reducing our carbon footprint.”

Fugro is one of four contractors who will receive task orders under the program. The total maximum value of work to be shared among all contractors is $40 million.

LOCAL Paddle boarder arrested in Malibu for ignoring orders to get out of the water MALIBU—A paddle boarder was arrested

in Malibu for violating social distancing rules and ignoring orders from a lifeguard to get out the water.

The incident took place on April 2.

After the man refused to exit the water, lifeguards called sheriff ’s deputies.

According to a post on the Lost Hills Sheriff ’s Station Facebook page, the individual stayed in the water for 30 to 40 minutes after the lifeguard asked him to get out. When deputies arrived, the man was arrested on suspicion of disobeying a lifeguard and violating Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay at home order, a misdemeanor.

So far, the state’s stay at home order has not been widely enforced by police agencies, but violators could face a $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail, or both.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—There isn’t an easy way to introduce this story, other than to say we’re living in unprecedented times. We have no idea of what’s ahead and how the world will look like once this COVID-19 pandemic finally passes.

But one thing is for sure: being forced to stay at home (and, for the most part, off the water) has actually shed light on a few new, mostly positive habits. Many of us are reaching out to people and reconnecting with friends or family members we otherwise were out of touch with (but wish we weren’t) prior to the various Stay At Home orders that forced us to limit our in-person social interactions.

Another positive outcome of this otherwise restrictive pandemic: yacht clubs are stepping up and doing their parts to help local communities get through these uncertain times. Most yacht clubs having been offering food services – either to-go or delivery – as a means to keep essential staff on the payroll and keep people fed. Other yacht clubs are finding creative ways to keep its membership occupied, such as organizing online games or happy hour events on Zoom.

The Log sampled what a few yacht clubs have been doing since mid-March.

Here’s a look at what we discovered.

› ORANGE COUNTY

With red-taped floors, social distancing signage, virtual appointments and to-go food the new normal, The Marina at Dana Point has taken those extra precautions and more, including extra cleaning, to keep their 3,000 slip and dry storage tenants healthy. While public access is restricted in Dana Point Harbor, boater parking lots remain open and accessible to boaters and authorized users, for now.

The Dana Point Boaters Association has encouraged boaters to follow state and local guidelines to help flatten the curve and has also heavily encouraged supporting local harbor restaurants and businesses. One harbor business, Golden Galleon, is selling “Quarantine Care Kits” and donating $10 to Second Harvest Food Bank for every one sold.

Positive messages, including a surfboard reading “Be Well! Dana Point Strong,” have also been popping up around the harbor.

Farther north up the coast, Seal Beach Yacht Club helped their members prepare for the pandemic and deal with the supply shortage. The club’s flag contacted their suppliers and arranged for

members to place orders for items such as toilet paper and cleaning supplies.

“Those that took advantage of our program were very grateful that they did not need to go to a grocery store and [deal with] lines or people for toilet paper,” said Seal Beach YC 2020 Commodore Laura Ellsworth in an email.

SBYC also compiled a list to connect members within walking distance of each other or just a few miles away should they need to borrow something.

Seal Beach YC member Joan Palango said she got a request from a neighbor and fellow Seal Beach YC member to borrow a cup of flour.

“Yes, I did have the flour that my neighbor could borrow and was able to walk it over to him,” Palango said in an email. “In return I received some

olives for my next Bloody Mary. You just gotta love this club and the spirit of cooperation. “ The yacht club is keeping members engaged and connected by initiating a “Seal in the Window” program, hosting virtual events including cocktail parties, regular monthly events and board meetings.

Several members are also making cloth masks, some of which are being donated to CASA Youth Shelter in Los Alamitos.

Newport Harbor Post 291 of The American Legion has been providing a drive-through food service in the post’s parking lot for the entire Newport Beach community. Post 291 Commander Jon Reynolds said it enables them to serve the community while also keeping some of their employees employed.

Details about the food service program can be found at www.al291.com.

LOS ANGELES AND LONG BEACH Los Angeles Yacht Club is also trying to keep members connected from a distance. Los Angeles YC Commodore Rich Maire said one of the club’s historical favorites, the Wednesday lunch with featured speakers, resumed on a virtual (Zoom) basis April 8. He said they are also providing information to members in a light-hearted way, using photos to keep everyone apprised of member activities.

“Many members are still taking the opportunity to go sailing, and it is hard to imagine something better while still adhering to strict social distancing protocols – sailing in the time of Coronavirus!” Marie said in an email.

The club is also providing toilet paper to members who need it and will be running a test of “curbside” food service for feasibility, and may provide that service if member demand warrants it.

On the business side of things, the flags, the board, and its committees are meeting regularly to keep the club business in order. Marie said as of now, the Board has made the decision to keep its employees on the payroll.

In Long Beach, Long Beach Marina Boat Owners Association President Tom Mayes said they are trying to maintain their role as the support organization for boat owners in the area. They have compiled resources for boaters on their website, including what to do if you plan to leave your boat during this time and a Q&A with Marine Operation Superintendent Todd Leland about relevant information for boaters related to COVID19. That information can be found at lbmboa.org/blog/. He also said they are looking at hosting some of their planned

Corsair Yacht Club, whose facility is in Emerald Cove on the West End of Catalina Island, has been trying to keep members connected virtually despite having to cancel events. CYC had to cancel the 37th iteration of their annual Easter at the Island event in Two Harbors due to COVID-19. In lieu of the event the yacht club held a Virtual Easter over Zoom on April 11.

The Zoom event still featured many of the traditional activities including the beginning of the boating season poem reading, burning of the socks and traditional Easter hat decorating contest.

“We are fortunate in that even if the entire boating season is canceled we will endure and will be ready to for whatever happens,” said Dennis Lynaugh, a 2020 Corsair YC director, in an email.

A memorial for one of their members, Mike Doell, who pass away - not due to COVID-19 - also had to be canceled in March. Lynaugh said while members were broken hearted to not be able to give Doell’s wife Sandi hugs and personal support, they flooded her email with tributes to him.

Zoom has been a useful tool for San Diego Yacht Club, as well. The club’s catering crew held a virtual happy hour via Zoom on April 10. But it’s not just Zoom – the club has relied on other media to keep in touch with its members during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as podcasting.

San Diego YC’s general manager, Terry Anglin, hosted a “socially dis-

tanced” episode of “Sail Cast” in early April. Anglin used the podcast to inform club membership of projects happening at San Diego YC. The podcast episode and Zoom happy hour event were easy-going distractions amidst these trying times.

Club leadership announced the cancelation of California Offshore Week and postponement of the 2020 Yachting Cup, both as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. (The 2020 Yachting Cup was rescheduled for Oct. 10 and 11.)

Coronado Yacht Club, meanwhile, offered Bloody Mary and Mimosa to-go kits for Easter. An Easter/Passover menu was also available on April 12. The menu offered scrambled eggs with chives and cheese (plus home fried potatoes and bacon or sausage) for $12. An order of pancakes (plain or with chocolate chip) was available for $6. Also available for $6: French Toast.

A to-go/delivery dinner menu was also available at Coronado YC. One dinner special offered to membership: seafood paella with scallops, shrimp, mussels, fish and rice for $40. Another special: 12 mixed pieces of homestyle fried chicken with mashed potatoes (and gravy) and a Caesar salad, also for $40.

Silver Gate Yacht Club encouraged its members to purchase gift certificates for the galley minimum. The club’s kitchen has remained open for to-go or delivery service; also remaining open at the club during the COVID-19 pandemic were the club’s restrooms and laundry area.

Mission Bay Yacht Club offered members a creative activity to keep themselves occupied during the current lockdown. The club’s Bowline Challenge urged members to tie a bowline to anything creative, then post a picture of it on the Mission Beach YC Facebook page. One posted photo featured a bowline tied around an unopened package of Angel Soft toilet tissue.

Catalina Connection Mayor, three recently elected Avalon City Council members sworn in M AYOR : A NNI M ARSHALL

By Lindsey Glasgow AVALON—Avalon’s three recently elected

CITY COUNCIL : L ISA L AVELLE

CITY COUNCIL : Y ESENIA D E LA R OSA

City Council members and re-elected Mayor Anni Marshall were sworn in at the council’s April 7 meeting.

Lisa Lavelle topped the race for two, four-year seats on the council with 501 votes, followed by Yesenia Sarahi De la Rosa with 424 votes. Oley Olsen, who previously held one of those seats for eight years, fell short of a re-election with 409 votes.

A special election seat, with a term expiring in 2022, was swept by former council member and former planning commissioner Michael Ponce who claimed 657 votes over contender Carl Johnson, who received 356 votes. Re-

sults from the March 3 election were certified on March 27.

The Avalon City Council is now full for the first time in quite a few months, with a tragedy and several changes affecting the makeup of the council in 2019. The council now has two firsttime City Council members – Lavelle and De la Rosa.

Lavelle grew up in Avalon and is currently on the Board of Directors for Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau. She previously served a term and a half on the Planning Commission. Lavelle said she looks forward to improving the quality of life for Avalon residents who are currently underserved by the county, state and federal government.

“Likewise I want to make sure the visitor community, including the

cross-section who make the harbor their home away from home, feels welcome and continues to find a reason to fall in love with Avalon all over again,” Lavelle said in an email.

She also said she wants to make sure the city is taking full advantage of technology and forward thinking to provide a strong, safe future for the Island home.

De la Rosa said she grew up in Avalon by hard-working, immigrant parents. She is now doing the same – raising her son with her partner on the island. She said she has been part of the community workforce since the age of 13 and currently works for the Catalina Island Conservancy in their new Trailhead building.

Aquaplaning on Catalina Island CATALINA ISLAND—Before water skis and wave boards existed there were aquaplanes, seen in this photo. Created in the 1920s, the wide riding boards were pulled by a speedboat similar to water skiing or wave boarding. The Catalina Island Museum shared this photo on Twitter, saying once aquaplaning was introduced to visitors on the island in the 1920s, it became a Catalina Island favorite. In 1935 a 44-mile aquaplane race held between Catalina Island and Hermosa Beach, endorsed by the American Power Boat Association, sprung up, attracting competitors from around the world.

At the April 7 meeting, the Council also voted to appoint itself to serve as the Hospital Board of Trustees and appointed Michael Ponce as Chairman of the Board. Ponce was formerly a board member at the Catalina Island Medical Center. Before volunteering for the role, Ponce announced he had resigned the night before from the board.

Meanwhile, Mayor Pro-Tem Cinde MacGugan-Cassidy was unanimously reappointed to the role of mayor pro-tem.

Olsen’s departure also leaves a vacancy on the city’s Harbor Advisory Committee. The community group was led by MacGugan-Cassidy, Olsen and several locals involved in the harbor one way or another. The committee was formed in 2019 to provide assistance, review and make suggestions to the City Manager, City Council, and Harbor Department on Avalon Harbor matters including repairs, maintenance, emergency repairs, long term projects, capital improvements.

Newport Beach Harbor Commission Long Beach seeks briefed on Harbor and Beaches private loan for Harbor Master Plan projects Department In March, city staff provided the Harbor Commission with an overview of harborrelated capital projects for 2020 that are included in the Harbor and Beaches Master Plan Projects.

By Lindsey Glasgow NEWPORT BEACH—It’s budgeting

season in Newport Beach. City staff is in the budgeting process for Harbor and Beaches Master Plan projects, which include a few significant proposals in 2020 and 2021 for Newport Beach Harbor.

At the March Harbor Commissioner meeting, city staff gave an overview and commissioners reviewed the current master list of projects planned for the harbor and beaches –some which go out as far as 2095 – that require capital funding. Significant projects planned in the near future for the harbor include dredging the Lower Bay to design depth, constructing a bilge pumpout dock/oil collection center at Balboa Yacht Basin, public pier floats maintenance and/or replacement and bulkhead replacement at the American Legion.

Planning for the dredging of the Lower Bay began last year and is slated on the master plan project list to begin in 2021 at an estimated net cost of $5.37 million. City staff previously reported an Army Corps survey estimated that over 900,000 cubic yards of sediment has accumulated in the Lower Bay above design depths, causing navigational hazards in the main channel for boaters, particularly at low tide.

According to the master plan, the bilge pumpout project is slated to begin construction this year and cost an estimated net $205,000. According to a

project description, both city-owned and private marinas provide sewage pumpout facilities for the public; however, the harbor does not have a bilge pumpout station for public use. The project would build a public bilge pumpout station and oil collection center at the Balboa Yacht Basin.

“A bilge pumpout station is necessary to help maintain the harbor’s water quality as well as to discourage boaters from using the sewage pumpout facilities to pumpout their bilges,” the project description stated.

Harbor Commission Chair Paul Blank said in an email the commissioners were particularly pleased to see the bilge pumpout and marine recycling project at Balboa Yacht Basin still on the list.

The bulkhead replacement at the American Legion, a city-owned property, was also on the list again this year.

Planning began last year. In the 20192020 fiscal year, the city funded an engineering analysis of the seawall needed to develop plans and permits through regulatory agencies. According to the master plan, construction will begin in 2021 at a net estimated cost of $1.53 million.

Blank also said there was some discussion of a need for line items for additional or replacement vessels for the Harbor Department. However, Harbormaster Kurt Borsting explained because there is a fixed asset replenishment fund associated with the vessels, the depreciation on the boats funds their replacement in the future.

After commissioners asked questions about specific projects, they gave their nod of approval and understanding to the plan; essentially endorsing the rough order of magnitude of the items on the list and the approximate timing of those items.

It then headed to the Finance Committee for review. The City Council will give the ultimate approval in the greater context of all Capital Projects in the city.

COVID-19 pandemic forced shutdown of municipal bond market, forcing city and harbor board to seek $145 million private loan to help finance Gerald Desmond Bridge project.

By Parimal M. Rohit LONG BEACH—Members of the Long

Beach City Council resolved on March 24 to seek a $145 million private placement loan with Bank of America as potential substitute funding for the Gerald Desmond Bridge replacement project. City officials are seeking a loan for the bridge project – and the Long Beach Harbor Department – as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and pandemic.

Long Beach City Council had, in January, approved the issuance of revenue bonds (through public offering) for the development, design and construction of the Gerald Desmond Bridge replacement. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, forced a shutdown of the municipal bond market, according to city staff.

“The city of Long Beach was unable to sell the [bonds as a result of the pandemic and market shutdown],” city staff told council members in a report. “As a financing alternative, the Board of Harbor Commissioners, acting on behalf of the city, proposed to enter into a private placement loan with Bank of America … [for a] principal amount not to exceed $145,000,000.”

The private loan would carry the same terms as the revenue bond approved in January.

“Proceeds from the private placement loan will be used to pay and/or reimburse the Harbor Department for costs of the development, design and construction of the replacement for Gerald Desmond Bridge. The proceeds will also be used to pay the cost of issuance associated with obtaining the private

placement loan,” city staff said in a report to council members on March 24.

Seeking a private placement loan, according to city staff, would give Long Beach Harbor Department the financial flexibility it needs “to pay for the completion of the Gerald Desmond Bridge, and to ensure adequate cash reserves during a volatile and uncertain economic environment.”

“The private placement loan will be a special, limited obligation of the city, secured and solely payable from Harbor Department revenues. The private placement loan will mature in approximately 1.5 years,” city staff said in a report to council members. “The estimated total debt service would be approximately $149 million and is subject to change depending on market conditions.

“The Harbor Department plans to pay off the private placement loan with a separate loan provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation or by issuing a long-term bond,” city staff continued. “The General Fund Group will not be liable for the debt service payments.”

The original Gerald Desmond Bridge was built in the 1960s but is now outdated. Building a newer, higher bridge would allow for larger cargo ships to pass underneath and more vehicles to travel on it in either direction.

Caltrans and the Port of Long Beach are jointly backing the project, with assistance also coming from the U.S. Department of Transportation and L.A. Metro.

The new Gerald Desmond Bridge, once complete, will have a 205-foot vertical clearance, three lanes of vehicular traffic in both directions and stand as the second-tallest cable-stayed bridge in the United States. The two cable-stayed towers each reach 515 feet in height.

San Diego County shuts down recreational boating and fishing COVID-19-themed order was amended to prohibit on-water and in-water activities in San Diego Bay as of April 4.

By Parimal M. Rohit SAN DIEGO—Recreational boating

activities at all bays in San Diego County have been restricted, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as of April 4.

Recreational fishing has also been prohibited as part of the order.

Transient docks and anchorages are still open.

“Boating for recreational purposes, watersports or swimming are prohibited on or in public waterways and beaches,” the amended county order stated.

San Diego County’s health officer initially issued an order on March 29, restricting various activities in response to COVID-19 pandemic. The April 4 amendment addressed recreational boating activities; the amendment also required all employees of grocery stories, pharmacies, drug stores, convenience stores, gas station, restaurants and food

delivery services to where a face mask whenever they interact with the public.

The order applies to San Diego Bay, Mission Bay and Oceanside Harbor. Inland waterways and coastal lagoons managed by various city, county or state agencies would also have to abide by the order.

PORT OF SAN DIEGO Port district staff provided answers to some questions about the order.

“San Diego Bay is closed to recreation – including boating, kayaking, paddleboarding and recreational fishing – until further notice,” according to port district staff. “These orders allow public agencies, including law enforcement, to focus resources on protecting public health and safety during this global health and economic crisis. We understand this isn’t

Ventura Port District offers rental abatement and deferment program to harbor tenants The Port District approved a program which will abate or defer all rental payments for a period of up to three months for harbor tenants who have been directly impacted by the Coronavirus.

By Lindsey Glasgow VENTURA—Ventura Harbor beaches, beach parking lots and boat launch ramp facility have all been closed as part of the effort to stop the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and get life back to normal sooner. While many harbor restaurants remain open for takeout and delivery, COVID-19 is still wreaking economic havoc. The Ventura Port District has stepped in to provide a relief option for local harbor businesses.

On April 1, the Ventura Port District Board of Port Commissioners held a public video meeting in which they unanimously approved Resolution No. 3387, COVID-19 Ventura Harbor Rental Abatement and Deferment Program.

The program will abate or defer all rental payments for a period up to three months – April, May and June - for harbor businesses directly impacted by the

COVID-19 pandemic.

Harbor master tenants, Harbor Village tenants and village marina recreational charter businesses which have been closed by government order or lost 50 percent or more of their typical monthly pre-COVID revenue can take advantage of the program. The repayment of deferred payments would not be due until Dec. 31, 2020.

Conditions of the program require all master tenants who qualify to provide the same monthly deferments to their subtenants.

It is estimated that the direct fiscal impact to the Port District due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the fiscal year 2019-2020 is $600,400 in lost revenue, according a staff report. The staff report said fiscal impacts caused by COVID-19 will require further evaluation of Port District operational, capital and tenant improvement expenses for the FY20-21 Budget.

“Twenty seven percent of our monthly rent will be lost and never recoverable,” said Ventura Business Operations Manager Todd Mitchell at the April 1 meeting.

Mitchell said the port district anticipates continuing to receive about 44 percent of its monthly income through the pandemic and recovering 29 percent at the end of the year through the deferment payments.

“I just applaud the fact that the staff

welcome news – we hope it will be for a short duration.

“Water recreation is not considered an essential activity,” port staff continued in a statement issued to the public.

The San Diego Bay channel is not closed, but anyone navigating in or out of the harbor should expect to be stopped and questioned by Harbor Police, according to port district staff.

“Law enforcement, including Harbor Police, is prepared to issue citations for violations of the state and county stayat-home orders,” port district staff stated. “Those citations carry a maximum fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail.”

The application of the county order to liveaboards will be assessed on a caseby-case basis, according to port district staff.

Licensed or registered vessels engaging in commercial fishing activities – with valid permits – are still allowed to operate and use Shelter Island Boat Launch Ramp to access the bay.

Recreational fishing – whether from the shoreline or on the water – is prohibited under the county order, according to port district staff.

The San Diego County order, however, did not provide clarity of whether anyone who relies upon fishing for sub-

sistence would be allowed to continue engaging in such activities.

“We live aboard our boat, and often go out to fish for dinner,” Kate Groff said in an email to The Log. “It’s my understanding that in spite of the financial hardships people are facing here … they will not even be permitted to go crabbing or fishing for food for their families.”

Groff, who is a restaurant owner, added Maryland enacted on-the-water restrictions in response to COVID-19 but still allowed subsistence fishing.

“Limited fishing is allowed if you are seeking food for you or your family, but the social distancing guidelines and the prohibition on social gatherings must be strictly followed,” a news update issued by Maryland’s governor’s office stated. “If an individual is boating to seek food for them or their family, boating is permitted.”

Anyone using a boat as his or her primary residence would be allowed to remain on the vessel, under Maryland’s COVID-19 orders. Kayaking and paddleboarding were also permitted as forms of exercise, no different than bicycling, under Maryland’s COVID-19 orders.

“Since kayaking and paddleboarding are both human-powered forms of exercise, akin to bicycling, they are permitted under the executive order,” the Maryland governor’s office stated.

has been able to come together with a plan relatively quickly and we’re offering some relief to our tenants” said Commissioner Mike Blumenberg.

Ventura Port District General Manager Brian Pendleton also gave an update on operations due to COVID-19 at the April 1 meeting. He announced Ventura Harbor beaches and beach parking lots are closed, in support of the “Stay Well at Home” order and the notice by the city of Ventura on April 1, that all parks and beaches in the city be closed until further notice.

“We’re really looking at two major things right now, softening the curve and getting to the finish line sooner

rather than later,” said Ventura Harbormaster John Higgins said at the April 1 meeting.

In a later update, the Ventura Port District shared news the public launch ramp facility and restrooms will be closed as of April 4. According to the district, the parking lot will only be available to commercial vessels and oneway trips by permit from the Harbor Patrol. Temporary no-cost permits can be obtained by contacting the Ventura Harbor Patrol at 805-642-8618. Any persons returning from a trip that departed from the harbor before the closure will be allowed to haul out and leave the area.

WATERFRONT ‘BAKED INTO DNA’ OF SANTA BARBARA’S NEW WATERFRONT DIRECTOR

By Lindsey Glasgow SANTA BARBARA—Santa Barbara’s new Waterfront Director Mike Wiltshire has been on the job for just a little more than two months and said the role is feeling more like home every day.

The City Council approved the appointment of Wiltshire in mid January.

He replaced Scott Riedman, who retired in August 2019 after holding the position for eight years.

Wiltshire has spent his whole life by the water, fostering a love for the ocean and marine environment at a young age.

“There really is something unique that brings people to the waterfront and keeps them here and that’s sort of baked into my DNA,” Wiltshire said.

He grew up in British Columbia, Canada, on Bowen Island – a small islet off the coast of Vancouver. He took a boat to school every day and worked

his first job at Union Steamship Marina. He docked boats, filled the bait tank and did whatever else was needed at the marina.

“I sailed, fished and dove with my father and just grew up on the ocean on the island there,” Wiltshire said.

He went to college in British Columbia where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering. He went on to work for 15 years in the private sector in the offshore oil and gas industry in the Santa Barbara Channel and Indian Ocean – sometimes spending months at sea. He also worked for five years with the Navy out of Port Hueneme, Point Mugu and San Nicolas Island, managing infrastructure and energy projects.

In 2007, he returned to Santa Barbara and school, earning a master’s degree in business economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Most recently, he worked in the City of Santa Barbara’s Public Works Department, spending six years as the Facilities and Energy Division Manager. There he oversaw the maintenance and planned upgrades for a variety of public buildings and facilities serving the public works, police, fire, parks, recreation, and library services.

He said he saw the opening in the

that’s really, really well run. The waterfront in general is an awesome operation under really great staff.”

Wiltshire said the one thing he hopes to do is evolve to stay relevant and vibrant.

“I want to ensure the waterfront operation evolves with the community and all the people and industries that we serve to make sure that we remain vibrant while hanging on to our culture,” Wiltshire said.

He also said since the waterfront does not utilize tax payer dollars – the entire operation relies on the dollars received from the services the waterfront provides – treating it like a business is important to its success.

“Being business-minded is key,” Wiltshire said.

As the waterfront director, Wiltshire will also be in charge of finding a new harbor operations manager, to replace Mick Kronman, who retired in September 2019 after holding the position for almost 20 years. Wiltshire said he plans to start recruiting for the position in the coming weeks.

Outside of work, Wiltshire enjoys the waterfront himself alongside his wife and 6 and 4-year-old sons.

“We love the beach, love the ocean, I surf, I dive, I get out on the boat as much as I can,” Wiltshire said.

Wiltshire said he does not currently own a boat, but used to co-own a sailboat with a friend and hopes to own a boat again in the near future.

Mike Wiltshire, who was appointed the Santa Barbara Waterfront Director in January, shared his background and vision for the bustling waterfront and harbor area.

Waterfront Department and said it was an area he’s always been drawn.

“I think it was just a really good opportunity and a really awesome two-way fit,” Wiltshire said.

As the waterfront director, Wilshire oversees the operations, maintenance, fiscal management, and long-term capital planning for the Santa Barbara waterfront, including the harbor and Stearns Wharf with a staff of almost 50 employees and a $16 million operating budget. He said he loved the scope and scale of the operations from the capital projects and maintenance to the businesses and tenant management.

The waterfront has a prosperous fishing industry, a busy harbor, beaches, shopping, restaurants and tourist attractions. The waterfront also has a rich maritime history and is home to the oldest working wood wharf in California – Sterns Wharf.

Wiltshire said he wants to ensure the waterfront holds its culture and character from the past while continuing to be relevant and vibrant.

“My goal for the long term is to really make sure the waterfront in Santa Barbara is a premiere place to work, play, visit and conduct business,” Wiltshire said.

He said right now, he sees no glaring need for wholesale change, noting the waterfront has been really well run.

“Change for the sake of change is not my style,” Wiltshire said. “There’s a lot

Standing Watch From page 6

which is located on Balboa Peninsula.

The Log’s Lindsey Glasgow reported on the recommended time changes in our April 3-16 issue. The recommendations were made with no fanfare and are the type of item we’d report on when timely, then move forward to the next story.

So why are the time change recommendations at Newport Beach’s 19th Street Public Dock the main topic of discussion in our recurring Standing Watch column?

Answer: Lt. Christopher Corn.

Okay, before moving on with the point of this take action column, let’s make clear what this editorial isn’t: a personal attack on public officials or a random rehashing of a dated story. Public officials should always be held accountable for his or her actions, even if the sands of time attached to said actions are rapidly disappearing into oblivion.

The point being raised here is this: The Harbor Commission’s recommendation demonstrated a tale of two actions taken by two public agencies on a singular issue.

Corn, for those who need a refresher, reduced the time available for use at a public dock in Corona Del Mar from 72 hours to 20 minutes. The Sheriff Lieutenant did not act with the backing of a Harbor Commission recommendation or vote by either the Newport Beach City Council or Orange County Board of Supervisors.

This was the point The Log doggedly tried to make during a series of articles and editorials on this issue in 2019: was Corn authorized to single-handedly change the time restrictions on public dock uses in Newport Beach Harbor?

Orange County officials tried to be of assistance here, pointing to a broad pro-

vision in the county code granting the Sheriff’s Department and OC Parks authority to enforce laws in a manner to avoid congestion at the public docks.

Clarity, however, was not provided as to whether Corn, himself, could unilaterally change the public’s use of Newport Beach Harbor’s docks from 72 hours to 20 minutes (or any other time limit).

Fast forward to March 2020 – an advisory board advances a set of recommendations on time restrictions on public dock uses in Newport Beach Harbor.

The public docks are different, to be sure. One could even argue the docks in Corona Del Mar are under county jurisdiction, while Newport Beach manages the boating venue at Balboa Peninsula.

Poe-Tay-Toe, Poe-Tah-Toe. The question of administrative function remains the same: was the Harbor Commission’s action last month proof Corn was unauthorized to alter the time restrictions at the public docks adjacent to the Sheriff’s Department station in Corona Del Mar? The takeaway here is this: we should both be informed of the public process and hold our public officials to the highest standards possible, when governing or executing said public process.

Orange County has been relatively mum on this issue and Corn will continue to maintain the matter was resolved.

But what we have here is a situation where the time available for using a public dock in Newport Beach was managed one way in Corona Del Mar and in an entirely different way in Balboa Peninsula. Both ways cannot co-exist.

What the Newport Beach Harbor Commission did last month is consistent with what should be: any changes to the use of public docks should be ultimately be made by a city council or board of supervisors (with input from the relevant advisory boards, such as a harbor commission).

TAKE ACTION

S

o, here’s the take action: maintain vigilance over our public officials and make sure the process is always honored. Our agencies will respond to us if we’re vocal – both consistently and in numbers.

Don’t be afraid or complacent – reach out to Newport Beach City Hall or Orange County’s hall of administration and let them know you’re paying attention. Otherwise, the county will continue to turn the cheek on Corn’s actions, in addition to setting a bad precedent. The lines of authority and decision-making in the public space must be clearly defined and never blurred.

PILGRIM SET TO BE DEMOLISHED Demolition was the only safe option available, according to Ocean Institute and other agencies involved with the recovery process.

By Parimal M. Rohit DANA POINT—Pilgrim, the brig and tall

ship once docked at Dana Point Harbor, will be demolished, The Log confirmed in an email correspondence with the Ocean Institute.

The tall ship became submerged underwater, while in its slip, on March 29.

The cause of Pilgrim’s sinking has not yet been determined.

Wendy Marshall, the Ocean Institute’s president of education and operations, said the decision to demolish Pilgrim was based on safety and jointly made in conjunction with several agencies involved with the tall ship’s recovery.

“One aspect that is important to note is that all of the plans, steps, decisions, and work (including the order to demolish the vessel) were made by the agencies involved with the recovery process along with the USCG,” Marshall told The Log. “Safety was the number one priority and we respect that a demolition was deemed the only safe option for the teams who working on this recovery as well as the only option given the status of the boat.”

News reports indicated the decision

was made to demolish Pilgrim during efforts to salvage the tall ship, which was docked at a slip adjacent to the Ocean Institute.

Salvage efforts were coordinated by the Pilgrim crew, O.C. Sheriff’s Department, U.S. Coast Guard and Tow Boat US, according to news reports.

Coast Guard officials reportedly halted salvage efforts on April 2; it was determined the salvage wasn’t safe for the diving crew involved, according to a news report published by the Orange County Register.

Ocean Institute regularly provided updates of Pilgrim’s salvage on its Facebook page. An update on April 7 stated the salvage crew was “not able to lift the vessel out of the water.”

“Unfortunately, we’re unable to lift the vessel out of the water,” Dan Goldbacher, the Ocean Institute’s director of maritime programs, said in a Facebook

video on April 7. “The vessel meant a lot to a lot of people.”

Pilgrim had been a major draw for visitors and students. It served as a living classroom, offering a variety of history programs to thousands of students each year.

The original Pilgrim was built in 1825 and made visits to Dana Point. A replica of the tall ship was built in 1945, originally as a schooner. It was later converted to a brig in 1975; the conversion took place in Lisbon, Portugal.

Pilgrim, the replica, arrived at Dana Point Harbor in 1981 and has been part of the Ocean Institute’s stewardship for almost 40 years.

Marshall added the Ocean Institute has been overwhelmed with community support since the day Pilgrim went under water.

“We have been flooded with memories, images, ideas for the next chapter, plans, etc.,” Marshall said.

Ocean Institute staff stated they would update the public once future plans have been determined. Some have suggested a new Pilgrim be built.

Everyone who has interacted with Pilgrim at some point has been requested to submit their stories and photos of the brig to the Ocean Institute. Photos and stories can be sent to the Ocean Institute via email (marketing@oceaninstitute.org) or social media (Twitter or Facebook) with the hashtag #thebrigpilgrim.

You can find the Ocean Institute on Twitter at @OceanInstitute, or on Facebook by typing “Ocean Institute” in the search bar.

Emergency declared at Port of L.A. Declaration allows the port district to suspend competitive bidding process for contracts and requires telecommuting as COVID-19 pandemic persists.

By Parimal M. Rohit LOS ANGELES —The local emergency

declared by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been extended to the Port of L.A. The port’s Board of Harbor Commissioners approved two resolutions on April 2, both imposing a declaration of emergency on port district business.

One resolution suspends the competitive bidding process for contracts during the duration of Garcetti’s emergency declaration. The second resolution affects personnel management. The L.A. Harbor Department, under the second resolution, would direct personnel to follow telecommuting protocols, as part of social distancing and other COVID-19 pandemic protocols.

“From time to time, the board is requested to adopt ordinances or resolutions previously adopted by the Los Angeles City Council … for application to and at the Harbor Department,” port district staff said in a report to commissioners. “Such requests are necessary, and not duplicative of the City Council action.

“Both resolutions … concern the COVID-19 pandemic and are an outgrowth of Mayor Garcetti’s March 4,

2020 Declaration of Local Emergency,” port district staff continued in its report.

The resolutions are considered administrative in nature and a necessary action to comply with emergency measures already in place as the city of Los Angeles attempts to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. Port district staff added the resolutions do not have any financial impact on the Harbor Department.

“The [resolutions seek] to provide flexibility to allow the Harbor Department to continue to operate as effectively as possible while addressing the requirements and exigencies arising from the COVID-19 pandemic,” port district staff said.

Port district staff’s request to delegate authority to the port’s executive director during the length of the local emergency declaration was also approved.

The delegated authority would, according to port district staff, allow the executive director “to adopt those future resolutions of City Council, if any, related to the COVID-19 pandemic deemed in the exercise of [his] reasonable discretion … to be applicable and beneficial to the Harbor Department, its tenants, users and stakeholders.”

The resolution, port district staff added, also calls for “the use of telecommuting, reassignment of personal to other city locations, and leave time, including the approval of paid leave as necessary, to address COVID-19 pandemic.”

The port’s Board of Harbor Commission has been meeting virtually since social distancing and other COVID-19 mandates have been put into effect by the city and county of Los Angeles.

Transpac-Tahiti Race Postponed due to COVID-19 Pandemic

This year’s Transpac-Tahiti race has been postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers announced. The race, which covers 3,570 miles, was originally set to take place on May 28.

LOS ANGELES (LOG NEWS SERVICE)— The Transpacific Yacht Club has announced the postponement of the Transpac-Tahiti 2020 race from Los Angeles to Tahiti due to restrictions stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.

The 3,570-mile race had been scheduled to start on May 28.

“While racing at sea has no inherent risk in the pandemic, the recent imposition of public health restrictions in both California and French Polynesia have

Ten boats including eight monohulls and two multihulls were entered in the Tahiti race, which has been held 14 times since the first contest in 1925.

The Transpacific Yacht Club also stages the biennial Transpac, a 2,225mile race from Los Angeles to Honolu-

SailGP was founded by Larry Ellison founder of Oracle and champion yachtsman Russell Coutts as an annual global sailing event. Their aim was to establish a commercially viable global race series with a large audience.

They said that this had been unsuccessfully attempted in the past with series such as the Extreme Sailing Series.

The SailGP format uses the F50 fast

foiling catamaran in a variety of spectacular international locations. Teams are currently owned by the competition with the intention of eventually becoming privately owned.

The inaugural competition was in 2019 with six teams – including teams from Australia, China, France, Great Britain, Japan and the United States – competing.

The winning team of each race during the series scores 10 points, with second place earning 9 points etc. The final race of the season is a match race between the two highest scoring teams over the season with a US $1 million prize to the winner.

THE 73RD EDITION OF NEWPORT-TOENSENADA HAS BEEN POSTPONED Annual race from Orange County to Baja California won’t be held this year and will now take place in 2021.

By Parimal M. Rohit NEWPORT BEACH—Yet another event

affected by the COVID-19 pandemic: Newport-to-Ensenada Race. The 73rd

edition of the Newport-to-Ensenada International Yacht Race, which features sailors and boaters racing from Newport Beach to the first port-of-entry in Baja California, will not be held this year – and will instead take place in 2021.

The Newport-to-Ensenada Race takes place every April, but the global spread of the COVID-19 virus has caused cancelations of every event during the first few weeks of this spring.

“Our event was to have many new features, our entry lists were strong and growing, and we were looking forward to having a great race,” Newport-to-Ensenada Race organizers said on the race’s website.

Competitors who already paid their entry fees for the 2020 race will have their payments credited to 2021. Entrants can also request a full refund or have their entry fees donated to Newport Ocean Sailing Association (NOSA).

Next year’s race will be held on April 23, 2021, it was already announced.

The biennial race, held in even years since 1980, starts at Richmond Yacht Club on San Francisco Bay and ends at Kaneohe Bay Yacht Club on Kaneohe Bay, Oahu.

Pacific Cup Yacht Club organizes the biennial race. This year’s Pacific Cup, which had at least 57 entrants, was slated to begin the week of June 29. Official entries included Pied Piper, City Lights, True Love, Artemis, Big Medicine, Wilder and Pegasus.

“We’re terribly disappointed to take this step to cancel the 2020 race, but the health and safety of our participants, partners, and the many supporting volunteers must take priority,” Pacific Cup YC Commodore Michael Moradzadeh said.

Seminars on race preparation, safety, inspections and maintenance of ocean-crossing information will still be offered by Pacific Cup YC. The race preparation seminars will be held online due to social distancing protocols and mandates.

The Fish and Game Commission met on April 15 to discuss the potential closure of sportfishing in certain areas.

Commission staff and leadership made it clear they would not be banning recreational fishing.

Fish & Game Commission reschedules emergency meeting April 9 teleconference to discuss potential closure of sportfishing in certain areas could not go on because of heavy call volume.

By Parimal M. Rohit SACRAMENTO—An April 9 emergency meeting to discuss the potential closure of sportfishing in certain areas of the state had to be rescheduled due to heavy call volume. The California Fish and Game Commission planned to hold a teleconference meeting on April 9 to address the ongoing COVID-19

pandemic.

The commission was specifically set to discuss whether the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife should be granted the authority to delay, restrict or suspend sport or recreational fishing, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The question was whether delaying, restricting or suspending sport or recreational fishing would help “prevent and mitigate public health risks that may arise when people travel for fishing trips or congregate while participating in available fishing opportunities.” “[The California Department of Fish and Wildlife] and the commission have received requests from county representatives and local health authorities requesting delays to sport or recreational fish openers such as the Eastern Sier-

ra trout opener scheduled for April 25,” CDFW staff stated in an email to the press.

The exact date of the rescheduled meeting was set for April 15, via teleconference. Updates of the meeting – as well as its outcomes – will immediately be reported on our website, fishrapnews.com.

CDFW staff and commission leadership, in a joint statement, acknowledged the April 9 teleconference had to be rescheduled because of high call volume and a lack of technological preparedness.

“We are very appreciative of the passion we heard from those that were able to join this morning’s call. It is clear that the call volume was overwhelming, and the technology wasn’t ready,” the joint statement by Fish and Game President Eric Sklar and CDFW Direc-

tor Charlton H. Bonham said.

“We acknowledge that this is a challenge as we attempt to navigate new technology for meetings. We are frustrated by what happened today and are looking for a remedy now. We understand that many members of the public and media were unable to join the call and because we also understand the importance to many of you, we need to ensure that you have an opportunity to provide input.”

Sklar and Bonham added the public can also submit comments for the record via email (fgc@fgc.ca.gov) if they do not want to be on the teleconference.

The commission president and department director also made clear the meeting was to discuss a possible closure – not a ban.

“We also want to make it crystal clear that today’s proposed decision was not about banning fishing statewide or locally. We are not

“Given the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s … expertise in understanding sport (including recreational) fishing throughout the state, and the behavior of sport fishers as it relates to those fisheries, CDFW and the California Fish and Game Commission … have determined that a temporary, adaptive approach is needed to give CDFW the ability to suspend or restrict certain or all inland and marine waters to sport fishing or restrict the taking of any fish species,” CDFW staff stated in a report to commissioners.

Some of the fishing seasons set to begin (or were supposed to be underway by now) include the groundfish fishery between Santa Barbara and Mendocino counties (April 1 opener) and the Eastern Sierra Trout Opener (April 24). The groundfish fishery north of Mendocino County was set to open May 11.

“Travel and potential concentration of fishers at ‘choke points’ where it may not be possible to maintain six feet of separation (e.g., launch ramps, parking lots, etc.) have the potential to increase the spread of COVID-19,” CDFW staff said in a report to commissioners. “In addition, when traveling for a fishing trip, a fisher has the potential to travel to remote, small towns, often stopping at gas stations or convenience marts, tackle shops, fast food and other restaurants, marinas or boat launches, and/or hotels/motels. The travel can lead to inadvertent transmission of the virus to the local business attendants or employees, even if the fisher is asymptomatic.”

Area, Cape Hatteras Gear Restricted Area and the Spring Gulf of Mexico Gear Restricted Area.

NOAA staff is specifically taking the following actions: evaluate the continued need for the Northeastern United States Pelagic Closure; eliminate the Cape Hatteras Gear Restricted Area; and, evaluate the need of the Spring Gulf of Mexico Gear Restricted Area.

The evaluations of the longline closure and restricted area both call for the reduction of threshold, “in the event that the U.S. allocation of bluefin tuna is reduced at a future International

Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas meeting,” NOAA staff stated in an announcement of the Atlantic bluefin regulation “NOAA Fisheries will continue to monitor the fishing locations of vessels via vessel monitoring systems (VMS) and monitor bluefin tuna catch via VMS set reports,” NOAA staff stated. “Additionally, as of April 2, and as soon as VMS forms are updated by vendors (update currently in progress), vessels fishing with pelagic longline gear in the monitoring areas must select specific location codes when submitting set reports through their VMS systems.

“Pelagic longline vessels fishing in the Gulf of Mexico are required to use weak hooks from January 1–June 30,” NOAA

staff continued.

NOAA also announced the number of U.S.-caught swordfish has decreased.

The U.S. baseline quota for swordfish was 2,937 metric tons per year.

“U.S. fishermen harvest just a fraction of that [baseline quota]. In fact, domestic swordfish landings have fallen almost every year since 2012. In 2018, for example, we only harvested 34 percent of our quota,” NOAA staff stated.

The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, or ICCAT, sets an annual quota for each country fishing North Atlantic swordfish.

“The collective total is set at a level to ensure nations don’t harvest swordfish faster than the population can be replenished,” NOAA staff said.

Marina del Rey Anglers release white sea bass MARINA DEL REY—A batch of white sea bass were released from a pen in Marina del Rey, April 7. The fish were released because food was no longer available at the pen. What follows is the statement Marina del Rey Anglers posted on its Facebook page – along with a few photos – about the release.

“The White Seabass are out and free. They are big and healthy. We have a big tide swing and maybe some will follow those tides out to the open ocean. Maybe they will use the harbor as an estuary and grow up some more before migrating.

This batch that we got of 3,700 had very few die offs. The Pen Pals track the ‘Morts’ and log them. A few are taken by the hubs and DFG scientists to verify their health before the give us the green light to release them.

That they were released today with rain and clouds and the COVID-19 shut down means that few will be hooked by local fishermen. And surprise, no sealions were on hand at all at the docks when the crew showed up to release them today.

There [were] enough hands to make light and fast work of it. We did not have a graduation march playing. Such fanfare is for sunny days and not when we are all wearing masks.

It was over in less than 30 minutes from arrival to departure for most. But the fish really were the ones who did not want to go. Some sneak past the crowder and tried to hang in the safety of the pen. But when all the end gates are out the fish got the hint and swam free.

They are totally on their own. We are totally out of food. They are not starving but when they get hungry, they will migrate to find their preferred prey.”

SD FISH REPORT COVID-19 CRISIS KEEPING MOST ANGLERS ASHORE

By Bob Vanian SAN DIEGO—Most Southern California saltwater anglers have been forced to stay

ashore due to regulations in place to help slow and protect against the spreading of the COVID-19 virus. Here in San Diego County the harbors at Mission Bay and Oceanside remain closed and San Diego Bay is closed to all recreational boating activity. The launch ramps at these harbors are all closed as well. My last check in with the Harbor Patrol Office in Dana Point was that their harbor and launch ramp were still open and sure enough, last Saturday some private boaters out of Dana Point Harbor had made the long run and were fishing for bluefin tuna in the offshore waters outside of San Diego.

976-BITE FISH REPORTS

www.976BITE.COM For Internet Reports Visit www.976bite.com For Personal Reports Call (619) 226-8218

With so few private boaters out fishing and with the sportboats tied to the dock as a result of social distance regulations brought about by the Covid19 crisis the fish reports have been very limited. The few reports I received are from offshore waters where there have been some 30 to 100-pound bluefin tuna biting for boats fishing offshore waters local to San Diego. Spots of breaking fish found under working birds have been producing bluefin for boats fishing 4 to 8 miles west to southwest of North Island and in the deepwater area inside of the 302 Spot.

The bluefin have been biting best on iron that is cast to the spots of breaking fish and there have also been some bluefin reported on sardines and mackerel. Productive jigs have been blue and white or mint color Salas 7X surface iron, Colt Snipers, Flat Fall jigs and Yo-Zuri Hydro Minnows.

All that said, the most recent reports from last Saturday’s fishing (April 11, 2020) were of slow bluefin action. There were several boats out fishing offshore waters outside of San Diego that were working spots such as the 425 Bank, 302 Spot, 224 Spot, 182 Spot and the area 4 to 8 miles west to southwest of North Island. Skippers were finding favorable water conditions with 61-degree clean water in most areas but were reporting that there was nothing much doing in the way of bait, bird life and game fish.

There best reports were of tuna meter marks being found outside of the 302 Spot and found up above the 182 Spot but those fish did not want to come up and bite.

reports to encourage anyone to take their boat out and go fishing in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. My feeling is that on many private boats it would be very difficult to adhere to the “social distance” guidelines of keeping 6 feet away from other people. I encourage you to stay home as much as your situation allows and to err on the side of caution in your decision making. Be safe, stay healthy and I hope to see you back out on the water when the Covid-19 crisis is over. I pray that is very soon!
